Woodland Camp Update
31 January 2020  

Praise the Lord for another new year and a new beginning for all of us labouring on Woodland camp. This winter, eleven of the FTTL trainees have joined the work during their winter recess, and this has resulted in a great blessing for the progress of the work. The structural steel frames have been installed for the B cabin and the two F cabins. On the rest of the cabins the brothers have finished the internal walls, as well as the plumbing inside all the cabins. The cladding in all the new cabins with the decking has begun. The drywall installation is finished along with the plastering of the walls and the ceilings inside. The shower trays are being installed, as well as the conduit for the HRMV (Heat recovery mechanical ventilation), and the radiators have been tested on the cabins. All cabins have the electrical cables fitted, and the brothers continued to install the lights and the window flashing.
